[Opinions] Re: Flora.
in reply to a message by Evie Grace
I adore it, but what bothers me about it is the connection to bacteria (sometimes referred to as 'intestinal flora', etc.). But I'm a nurse, so I'm around these sorts of things more, so maybe I'm just more sensitive to them. ;)
I like Florence, but I love Flora and prefer it as a name on its own, but if I was named Florence, I'd definitely want my nn to be Flora. :b
The "floor" similarity doesn't really bother me. But I've been known to say "tore up from the floor up" and just realized "floor up" and Flora are kind of similar... LOL. But still not a reason not to use it, imo.
